We are considering a 4 night visit to this resort town in Morocco beginning of November for a little RnR and sunshine. Our goal is to relax, soak up some sun, maybe play a round of golf and swim. Has anyone visited this area before and have any recommendations, advice, suggestions? Specifically wondering if it is indeed the resort town I've read it to be (ie: great for all the things I listed above); ease of getting around (we do not want to rent a car); places you've enjoyed staying (we are considering the Sofitel Agadir Thalassa.) Thanks for any input you may have!

We visited Agadir while on a cruise that ported in Morocco.
The excursion took us past the "goats in the trees" that was very interesting. Not sure people put any of the goats in the trees.
Agadir was on the edge of the desert and a very interesting place to visit. Not sure that I would spend four days there.

We heard that the goats are put in the trees to eat the argan seeds and poop them onto the ground. Sound truthish.
Sorry, we never got closer than Marrakech, but from everything we heard and read, Agadir and Essaouira were the places we most wish we had added on.

I spend a week in Agadir, at a Club Med!
It's a big resort now, with large hotels catering to European travelers. You could swim and golf, and I b alive that November is a good month to be there. You could do an overnight, in Marrakech. which is about three hours away by car.

I stopped by Agadir for a couple of hours around New Years 2025. Walked a little bit in town and then along the beach. I had a rental car and stayed a little bit up the coast in Taghazout. The whole stretch of coast has lots of resorts that are great for relaxing. I spent a whole day driving in the mountains in a loop and then stopping by the surfing spots before returning to Taghazout (very few people and lots of curvy roads).
The only thing I’ll call out is that Agadir didn’t seem like a town but is a city from the looks of it. Hence, if you want to avoid cities you may want to consider some of the smaller towns which have more secluded resorts just up the coast.
